Just recently we read of 3 hikers hiking near Iran, crossing the border by accident, and being captured by Iranian police. So far now they have been held as prisoners for over 2 months.

People love to hike in others countries. For them there is not enough to see in this country so they head overseas to take vacations hiking and enjoying the scenery. But hiking in another country can be very risky. First thing you have to do is know the laws of the country you visit along with the surrounding areas. Once you know the laws, you can then make a decision as to where you want to hike. -But never before.

If you find out the area you’re hiking in is close to a territory you’re not allowed to be in, stay far away from it. Failing to do so could have you end up in prison like the 3 people in the story.

You have to be careful and respect the laws of the countries you visit. It must be taken seriously. If not there could be dire consequences. So know the laws, know the area you’re in well, stay far away from forbidden areas and be careful!
